Hesed has no adequate English equivalent. Translators of the King James Version of the Bible must have struggled with how to render hesed in English. They often chose “lovingkindness.” This captures much but not all the meaning of hesed.
The covenant path leads us back to Him. If we let God prevail in our lives, that covenant will lead us closer and closer to Him. All covenants are intended to be binding. They create a relationship with everlasting ties.
@charleswillstwo So sorry. Lost my oldest sister back in 2015. It was a shock - no warning. It's so difficult. But try to find peace knowing he rests in the arms of the Savior.

The #laws of nature don’t apply in our woods
Where ancient spirits, legendary creatures
And phenomenal cryptids make their homes.
One wrong turn around a bend in the trail,
And you, too, will meet up with something
Which might or might not allow you to live…

She went into the plot a willing protagonist,
Eager for adventure and exploration.
The antagonist swooped down with deliberation,
Added unexpected, lethal complications,
And external conflict to create internal struggles—
Until the #denouement ended them both.

#vss365#Venomous tongues spew toxic words
Fast and far, often lasting lifetimes.
They ruin reputations, end lives,
Divide family, separate friends.
Gossip mongers rejoice at the carnage
While karma bides its time.
@jacopocoghe@ProVitaFamiglia May you find peace in the knowledge that she now rests in the arms of the Savior. A soul too precious to have to endure the horrors on Earth.
@MarshaMildon@gregorymaxwell@joanne_paulson Curious, did you see the video of the Jewish teen gang raped, killed, & drug naked thru Gaza? Most spit on her & cheered. Yes, Hamas, but the Palistinian people choose Hamas to lead them. The horrors are on both sides, but had Hamas not attacked, this would not be happening.
@em_templin1 Called to the home of his wealthy great uncle who, until this moment, had effectively ignored his financially struggling single parent family.
@BiblicalAnarchy@Mormonger Isn't it enough to profess Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Son of God, and leave it at that? Bringing faiths together is far more Christ-like than building walls between them. We have enough that foolishly divides us in this world. Why create more?
